Score3.5Marshes, cattail-lined ponds and open water attract migrating ducks, geese and shorebirds — ideal for close-up waterfowl and reflective wetland panoramas.

Public WMA: no fee, basic parking and foot trails; expect muddy paths—waterproof boots recommended. Weekday mornings reduce disturbance and crowds.
